I couldn't control myself when Ted Cruz's "joke" bombed. Only he and my dad think that explaining what happens in a cartoon is a joke.

Fiorina is a moron, but she's probably winning this thing so far.

I hate that you get to respond if someone says your name, because it just means Trump gets to talk every two minutes.
Please consider voting for me

I'd still go with these two and probably Christie as the winners of the debate. I'd also say that I doubt Trump did anything to really hurt himself, so he's probably pretty happy.

I'm not sure what one is expected to do when a major political party has Donald Trump as a contender, and also attempts serious discussion.

or did the Koch brothers pay Michael Moore to plant it there at the urging of a Zack De La Rocha sent back in time from a future world where America dismantled capitalism and socialism prevailed and the country was crushed under its own economic self-insufficiency, leading Rage to acknowledge the lesser-evil benefits of a mostly free market system, as memorialized in their 2067 album "Lesser-evil empire", versus a centrally-controlled economic model that is inherently predisposed to self-destruct due its overseers' inability to constrain the natural will of the people manifest through supply and demand; resulting in Zack de La Rocha to volunteer himself for a Koch industries experiment to travel back in time to the year 1999 and begin the groundswell of support for a Donald Trump candidacy in 2016 to overcome the rise of Socialist Bernie "Ilyich" Sanders from capturing the 2016 general election ... ?

BECAUSE America would rather be run by a flimsy 90-year old ideologue guiding us down the path to economic de-civilization than face the endless pedantic lecturing of her mincingly hateful stares as she pines in the shadows for more, more, MORE rule-breaking adrenaline highs, while pragamatically managing the country to a reasonably stable outcome.

BECAUSE Hillary is too much of a F---ing bitch to get the Democratic nomination

but only one rapper-MC can stop him,

and a couple of "brothas" with a lot of green...

The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untie me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless
Ones who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside our door
Now testify

Now testify
It's right outside our door
Now testify
Yes testify
It's right outside our door

With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door
Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside our door
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside our door

When he entered the race I thought Scott Walker would have been one of last 3-4 Republicans standing. I was obviously wrong.
